This is really not an egcs question, so I suggest to take it to one of
the C++ newsgroups. The best way of doing what you want depends on
your application; if this is really about printing "int" and
"something else", templates are for you:
template<typename T>
class foo
{
public:
typedef T hi;
void doit (void)
{
if (sizeof(hi) == sizeof(int))
puts("int");
else
puts("something else");
}
};
int
main ()
{
foo<double> s;
s.doit();
}
